Kevin Christopher Lackman, aged 33, was born in Bremerton, Washington on January 25, 1985 and passed away suddenly on February 8, 2018.

He attended East Port Orchard Elementary, Marcus Whitman Junior High, Ridgetop Junior High, and graduated from Olympic High School in Bremerton in 2003. He went on to obtain his degree in Business Management and Marketing from Washington State University in 2007 where he was a member of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity, serving as Vice President. He was a proud Coug.

Upon graduation, Kevin was recruited into the automobile industry by Ethos Group. He was placed at the Bob Hall Auto Group in Yakima, WA. He quickly moved up the ranks, from Finance Manager to General Sales Manager over his nearly 7 years there.

He briefly worked for Rikess Group as a Dealer Performance Consultant, which took him across the country to various dealerships before returning to work directly for Ethos Group as an Account Representative. While Kevin was a shining star in all of his professional roles, he came into his own in his most recent position. Kevin had a heart for helping people reach their goals and grow within their careers. Whether performing accounting analyzation, making captivating group presentations, or having a simple conversation to help someone grow, Kevin’s skill set was truly unique.

Kevin sadly leaves his mother Kathleen Lackman, brothers Shawn Lackman and Ryan Lackman, his niece Edelyn and nephew Luca, his dog Cooper, as well as a whole network of extended family and friends. He was preceded in death by his father Edwin Lackman.

Kevin touched everyone with his gregarious spirit, fun personality, and selfless attitude. Kevin was known to be the life of the party, who always helped bring people together. He was a loving and fun uncle, and shined in that role. The people that Kevin touched throughout his life are numerous. We hope that his spirit will live on through his actions, and people will remember him by embodying a little bit of his selflessness in their daily lives.

A memorial service will be held at Sylvan Way Baptist Church on March 10th, 2018 beginning at 2:00pm. A celebration of his life will take place at the Kitsap Conference Center, guests can stop by between 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
